Default Thoughts?

Hi,
Thinking of buying my first Mariah. It's a 1990 Mariah 2150 XLC 21 cuddy cabin. It has 275 hrs on it. What do you guys think? How much should I pay? They are asking $8000.


Thanks,
Tony

    First off , welcome to MOC scuba!
    That price seems a little on the high side to me.
    What engine/drive is in it? What shape is the hull and interior in? How's the upholstery?
    Does the seller have maintenance records?
    Where is the boat?
    Lot of variables in a boat purchase.
    I will say the Mariah's are one of the best built boats there was at the time. They usually hold up very well if taken care of.
    Shoot some pics

    That Mariah is from the very first year they were built. I agree that $8k seems high and it will be extremely difficult to find interior parts for it.
